looking nice
the wind deflectors suit the darker shades of 406, but they really work well with your cars colour, im thinking of tinting my rear windows the same as the wind deflectors.

Yep the color suits well. They seem well made too, fit tightly. I used the metal clips and cleaned the channels A LOT before fitting, it seems they have glued well.
I thougt of tinting the windows, but it was too costly, legally on the edge here (it is almost impossible to modify your car legally here :( ) and I don't like the black with total black behind. It'd have darkened the rear seats too much.

Still going strong. They really work well and don't move. I found out I cannot close the door mirrors fully now tho.

nope. The fold a bit, but not fully. I'd say they fold 75% of what they should. Not a problem, just pointing it out.

my wind deflectors loose the battle between the mirros motor, when they go to close in the move the deflector a few mm but not too much, not out of their current position anyhow.

I'd fear this is gonna ruin my mirror motors on the long run?
